F13 6-series convertible spotted top down for first time - 6Post.com | BMW 6-Series Forum

Jason · 05-25-2010, 08:14 AM

We bring you the first ever sighting of the upcoming F13 6-series convertible with its top down. The shape revealed with the top down is of a sleek and well proportioned convertible, not easily pulled off with a convertible of this size. What is not telling yet however, is whether the top is a folding hardtop or a traditional canvas top. The extra cut lines on the trunk may indicate a canvas top to some, but may simply be indicative of split trunk access (for when top is retracted).

Release dates and specifics are still up in the air, but its a sure bet that at least the engine line-up will be a replication of what is available on the F10 5-Series, including a twin turbo V8. Rumors still float around to this day about new tri-turbo diesel engine that would make its debut on this car.

Jason, don't you think it is time to make a 6Post forum?

Jblack4083 · 05-25-2010, 03:03 PM

They need to do hardtop + sunroof like the VW EOS

I hear you.

But, I'm still doubtful about a folding hardtop. Some things just don't make sense if it's a hardtop (but so do some others for a soft top).

..I was hoping for some interior pics! dang! ~Frost

uhn2000 · 05-25-2010, 05:15 PM

My next care for sure.. more details please

E92Alpine328i · 05-25-2010, 06:25 PM

there u go. we have a soft top afterall just like the previous 6 series cabrio.

IancoleTX · 05-25-2010, 07:08 PM

Wow, you can see alot of the body lines. Someone needs to do a render. Nice job OP

Oulixes · 05-25-2010, 07:28 PM

The lines of the car look OK. I wish someone would remove the camo.

Koni · 05-25-2010, 08:43 PM

are those lines so characteristic that you are sure it is softtop? i wish it was hardtop.. canvas top is pointless in central europe.. plz let me know if you are sure...

SoCali E90 · 05-25-2010, 10:37 PM

looks boring

a burrito · 05-26-2010, 05:26 AM

Thats a gigantic windscreen

Uli_HH · 05-26-2010, 10:52 AM

Looks definetly like an hardtop ... trunk lines are like the e93 and the gigantic windscreen says also folding hardtop.

SlammedM6 · 05-26-2010, 05:04 PM

I am willing to bet that it is a soft top, they will keep 6 series as a high end convertible, meant for the "older" crowd and those guys want a soft top because its not their daily driver. I am confident in this!

BrokenVert · 05-27-2010, 12:27 PM

Windows up!? Lame...

Also, why does this thing have the same plastic POS windscreen that I can get for my 1er? The older 6 was much better with the verticle rear window...its what you expect on a 100K car

Harold Wood · 05-27-2010, 03:59 PM

A quick rendering based on your latest images

flpnout · 05-27-2010, 11:32 PM

It looks like it is a soft top, as it looks like my previous 650 cabrio from where the top sits on top. It looks like it has a 5 series front end?? Seems like them are starting to look the same with the new designs coming out.

Look closer, the verticle rear window is there (specifically the slot where it rolls up from). That plastic POS windscreen was available for the last gen 6 series too.
